GOING: S(7)

Ladbrokes Odds Surge Handicap 1200m

Track: Heavy 9   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit.  

Keen tempo headed by Sweet Vixen. Good contest to kick us off. JETT SMASH (1) dug deep to score first-up at Sale after covering ground throughout, and he is sure to have taken plenty of improvement from that effort. He can get the job done again despite the big weight. SWEET VIXEN (5) was well supported last start after just missing on debut and she delivered in style, leading throughout in a strong display. Expect her to push forward again and prove hard to reel in third-up. GO LEFT (3) weakened under pressure when resuming in town but will be better for the run and is certainly one to consider. TOY QUEEN (6) returns from a short break and should be forward enough following two jump-outs in readiness. Best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Jett Smash.
